"Jin'er, this kid is really too good at tossing, he was still fighting in the cavalry some time ago, but now it's good, he actually went to Dengzhou Liu Renyuan's men to learn and train the navy." Under the willow tree by the Huangqu River, Li Shimin handed a piece of information to Li Xiu next to him and said with a smile, this is also the news he just received.

Li Xiu took this information and looked at it, and said with a helpless expression on his face: "Let him toss, but I am very optimistic about the navy, but it is a pity that Liu Renyuan and others have not been able to grasp the key points of the navy before, so that the navy is only sealed on the northern coast, and there has not been much development over the years, I hope that Jin'er can bring something different to the navy in the future." ”

"Haha~, speaking of which, you also asked for independence from the navy at the beginning, but unfortunately the navy has stagnated over the years, and now even Jin'er has gone to the navy, it seems that your father and son are really related to the navy!" Li Shimin laughed at this time.

"Your Majesty, now our Datang has almost no opponents on land, but the sea can not be relaxed, the navy has been in the army for so many years, but it has been stagnant, after Liu Ren is willing to take over the navy, although he is also very hard-working, and has made some achievements in naval tactics, but he lacks a long-term vision, so is Your Majesty someone else in charge of the navy?" Li Xiu hesitated for a moment at this time and finally spoke again, he had already resigned, and these words should not be said by him, but he really didn't want the navy that he had so hard earned to become independent to be destroyed.

"You don't have to worry about this, Liu Ren's purpose of letting Jin'er enter the navy this time is not very simple, and even he wants to take this opportunity to get out!" I saw Li Shimin laugh again at this time and said, Li Xiu wants to replace Liu Renyuan, I'm afraid that Liu Renyuan will only be grateful after knowing it, I'm afraid Li Xiu can't think of this anyway.

"Get out? Could it be that Liu Renyuan doesn't want to be in charge of the navy anymore? Li Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Li Shimin's words, originally he was worried that he would offend the other party by proposing to replace Liu Renyuan, but now it seems that his worries are superfluous.

"Yes, Liu Renyuan has indeed worked hard over the years, but as you said, his ability is limited, and the navy has not been able to develop in his hands, and some ministers in the DPRK and China feel that the navy costs too much, but it is not used much in peacetime, so they have been billing orders to reduce the use of the navy, which makes Liu Renyuan also have a lot of pressure on him, and he has long wanted to change places, so this time he saw that Jin'er was interested in the navy, and immediately tried his best to cultivate him, probably because he wanted Jin'er to take over the navy for him after he grew up." Li Shimin said with a smile, Liu Renyuan is his personal guard, and he naturally knows this person very well.

"Jin'er? How is this possible, Jin'er is only a small captain now, and he has not made an inch of achievements in the navy, plus he is young, if he wants to take over Liu Renyuan's position as a general, I am afraid it will take at least ten years. Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head and said.

"How could it not be? Don't forget that now Silla and Baekje are at war, and our navy is also involved, as long as Liu Renyuan is willing, it is easy to put some of the military achievements on Jin'er's head, so that Jin'er will also have a reason to be promoted, plus with Jin'er's ability, it is easy to gain a foothold in the navy, and then Liu Renyuan only needs to patiently cultivate Jin'er for a few more years, he can smoothly hand over the navy to Jin'er, and he will ask to be transferred to other places. Li Shimin said with a smile again.

"This ......" Li Xiu was stunned again when he heard this, and then said in disbelief, "But even so, Jin'er is too young, the navy is independent, with more than 20,000 people under his command, hundreds of warships, commanding such a huge navy, at least Zhonglang will be a general, even if it is a few years later, Jin'er is only in his twenties, if he is really allowed to command the navy, I'm afraid this promotion will be too fast, right?" ”

The Tang Dynasty set up 16 guards in the center of the Yamen to specialize in the world's military horses, with the general to lead the guards, each guard set up a general, under the general there are Zhonglang generals, left and right Lang generals and other positions, each guard standing soldiers and horses are only 20,000 or 30,000 people, it can be said that the establishment of the navy is equivalent to a guard, but the navy is not valued after all, so the position of the navy general is not high, for example, Liu Renyuan is the Zhonglang general, but with Li Jin's age, it is still a little too early to become a Zhonglang general in his twenties.

"What is this, Huo Qubing can be crowned a marquis in his twenties, even if Jin'er can't compare to the champion marquis, but it's nothing to be a Zhonglang general." When Li Shimin said this, his face suddenly showed a somewhat solemn expression and said, "What's more, the current situation in the navy is very bad, many ministers have opinions on the navy, and want to weaken the navy's expenditure, I can't always favor the navy, so we must let the navy make some achievements, Jin'er has always been bold, if he leads the navy, maybe he can bring the navy back to life in the future!" ”

"This ......" Li Xiu finally heard Li Shimin's implication at this time, it seems that the court's doubts about the navy are getting louder and louder, and Li Shimin can't support it, if it continues like this, I'm afraid that the navy will have to be abolished sooner or later, rather than letting the navy be abolished so silently, it is better to throw it to Li Jin before the navy is dismantled, if Li Jin really has the ability to toss the navy alive, it is the best, if the toss is not alive, it is nothing, it should be used for him to practice.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but be moved, after all, in order to cultivate Li Jin, Li Shimin was willing to use such a big hand, whether the navy can be resurrected in the future, it will be a huge experience for Li Jin, and this kind of opportunity is not something that everyone can have.

"By the way, the pheasant slave proposed to me yesterday, saying that he wanted to transfer Ping An Lang from Yunzhou back to Chang'an, after all, he has taken over a lot of government affairs now, and he is usually very busy, although there are people around him to assist, but he feels that he is not as good as Ping An Lang." Li Shimin suddenly remembered something at this time, and discussed it with Li Xiu again.

"Ping An Lang's time to go to Yunzhou is still short, although he has made some political achievements, but it is far from meeting the requirements he set for himself before, and the prince has just taken over government affairs, it is the time to exercise his ability, if Ping An Lang comes back to help him, it will not be easy for him to grow up, so I think it is better to wait for another two years." Li Xiu thought for a moment and replied very cautiously.

"It makes sense, the pheasant slave really needs to grow up quickly, since this is the case, then let Ping An Lang stay in Yunzhou for two more years, and in addition, Li Zhen and Ping An Lang can't live separately all the time, so I want to send Li Zhen to Yunzhou to reunite with Ping An Lang." Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and then talked about the family affairs of the two families.

"It's naturally a good thing to reunite their husbands and wives, but after all, Yunzhou is a grassland, and Lizhi's body is relatively weak, and I'm worried that she won't adapt to the local water and soil when she goes to Yunzhou." Li Xiu said a little worried at this time.

"Hehe, how did you forget that your son is a senior disciple of Sun Daochang, his medical skills are much stronger than ordinary doctors, and Lizhi is better taken care of by his side, and during this period of time, Yunzhou has developed rapidly, to be precise, the entire Mo Nan has developed very quickly, especially after the road is built, Mo Nan has been firmly controlled by us, and the cities around the country have also been built, Yunzhou is close to the West Surrender City, where the city is also the first batch to be built, and now it is estimated that it should be completed. Speaking of which, the wind and sand on the grassland are strong, but they can't blow in the city, and Lizhi will not suffer if she goes there. Li Shimin replied with a smile again.

Seeing that Li Shimin had thought it through so thoroughly, Li Xiu finally nodded, and then asked: "Your Majesty, where has the road on the grassland been repaired now, and when will it be repaired to Mobei, but I heard that the Hui people have always wanted to swallow Mobei?" ”

"Haha~, isn't the Tumidu a request for the construction of the Towering Khan Avenue above, this road has now been built nearly half, and it is estimated that it will be completed before the winter of next year, and then the grassland to the Western Regions will be within the deterrence of our army, as for the ambition of the Hui is not a day or two, I originally wanted to satisfy them temporarily, but the last time Jin'er made such a fuss, the Hui people are also much more honest, and most of the Mobei is still under our control."

When he said this, he saw that Li Shimin suddenly showed a mysterious smile and said: "You don't have to worry about returning to Hui, because there will be chaos in Huifu soon!" ”

Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he thought that Zhao Deyan had told him before that Fei Nusi had begun to deal with Hui Su, especially the two uncles and nephews of Tu Mi and Wu Su, it seemed that it would not be long before Hui Su would become a mess, and he would no longer have time to take care of Mobei.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but put his mind at ease, and then chatted with Li Shimin for a few words, and when it was getting late, Li Shimin took the fishing rod and returned to the palace, speaking of which, he often went out of the palace during this time, in addition to coming to Li Xiu here, he would also go to the academy, Nanshan and other places, and even sometimes go to Luoyang to live for a few days, it can be said that he is very free, and the whole person's complexion is much better, if nothing else, he should not die suddenly after fifty.

Li Shimin left, but Li Xiu did not go home immediately, but sat by the river and fell into contemplation, he has been crossing for more than 20 years, he has also changed from a young man to a middle-aged man, with a group of wives and children, and Datang under his influence, has slowly changed the original historical trajectory, and now even he does not know where Datang will go in the future?

"When people reach middle age, there are too many things to consider, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is not worry-free!" In the end, Li Xiu sighed, then stood up and put away the fishing rod and returned to the mansion, Jin'er still needs to tell Princess Pingyang about it, and in addition, his marriage with Mingkong should also be done, if it doesn't work, let them marry in Dengzhou.
